USC Quarterback Matt Barkley

After a somewhat disappointing freshman season, maybe the most impressive quarterback in the Pac-10 so far this year is USC sophomore Matt Barkley.

He's been absolutely tearing it up.

In seven games, Barkley has completed 138 of 211 passes for 1,869 yards, 20 touchdowns and only four interceptions. Yeah, he's been that good.

On the other hand, Oregon's 'D' has been somewhat susceptible to the pass. Although the Ducks have already recorded 13 interceptions, they're allowing over 200 yards passing a game.

And, it's not like a premier quarterback hasn't already had a big game against the Ducks. Stanford's Andrew Luck only threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns in Oregon's 52-31 victory earlier this month.

Good quarterbacks are capable of putting up some big numbers against the Ducks and Matt Barkley is certainly a good quarterback.

Oregon Road Struggles

Yes, Oregon is 3-0 on the road this year. But, if you look a little closer at those wins, you'll notice that the Ducks played far from their best football.

Against Tennessee (one of the worst teams in the SEC), Oregon was actually down 13-3 late in the second quarter before they turned on the jets and scored 45 unanswered points en route to a 48-13 stomping.

Against Arizona State (a very average Pac-10 team), the Sun Devils had seven turnovers and the Ducks still only won by a margin of 42-31. Imagine if ASU hadn't treated the ball like a hot potato.

Against Washington State (maybe the worst team in a BCS conference), the Ducks won only 43-23 despite being 36-point favorites.

So no, Oregon has played anything but great football on the road this year.

USC is a very good football team. The previous three opponents were not. If Oregon plays anything like their previous three games, the BCS standings are in for another shakeup.

The only team not to win? North Carolina against LSU. But, in reality, the Tar Heels weren't even the home team in that game. It was played at a neutral site in Atlanta with North Carolina just being listed as the home team.

So, in that respect, one streak is going to end on Saturday. Oregon's seven-game winning streak or College Gameday's seven-game winning streak.
